Its a good point and it comes back to why Google can't take up projects that other startups are working on.
Google has all the technical infrastructure, talent and everything to make something like AirBnB, Docusign and hell even intellij. Why not?

"AI startups," if they make sense, seem to have a very short shelf-life. They're either overtaken by the continuing improvement in LLM context windows, or, if there's a real and general unmet need for what they offer, the giants will tend to integrate it.
It probably comes down to the fact that code is not that crucial but all the other non technical aspects like distribution, supplier relations and marketing that makes a product.
Maybe LLM wrappers turn out to be that way. The model may not matter but the distribution and customer relation etc would matter more.
There's only so much product bandwidth a company can take on that makes sense, look at the graveyard of Google products.
